Josh Rosen was the most recent victim of this syndrome. I never liked Rosen but it's clear he doesn't trust any of his OLs since Arizona, and he seems unconfortable and very afraid in every snap, even with a clean pocket. Few people talk about that but it's clearly important to point out: terrible OLs early can destroy a young QB career.
I like food David Carr was a good QB until he eventually got injured as a result of taking too many hits from a historically terrible line of the expansion Texans.
As a Jets fan that title really scared me and I was thinking “what am I missing?”... and then I watched it and realized it’s everything I’ve been saying to my friends who sleep on Sam :)
Yea I've stopped talking about him to people. I'll let him do the talking within the next 2-3 years. I've spent my life watching mediocre QB play from my Jets. I know when we finally have a good one. Said this a thousand times. If we had Darnold during the Rex Ryan era we would have atleast 1 SB
Such a promising young quarter back Darnold is, and the Jets ruin him by not addressing the o line before his 2nd year and giving him a fraud head coach.
@@BenDover-fr1ye right? Rex was run out of NY unfairly I feel. After r back to back AFC title games we lost like 12 starters. No wonder we took the shit we did those last 2 years.
Great analysis. His 'happy feet' were really developed in college at USC, most people want to say he had a great O-Line with the Trojans but that is very far from the truth - he could never trust his linemen at SC and that's where he has had the opportunity to shine as an improviser / playmaker. That play style gives and it also takes, needs to cutdown on turnovers and hopefully Gase schemes up plays that can compensate for weak O-Line play. Keep it up!
Am soory but gase is just a bad coach, i mean when he was on the dolphins i remember one game against the colts it was a game winning drive vs the colts and he ran the ball on 3rd 10 and we got 3 yards then he punted it for some reason and we lost the game
@@pedroribas7925 Not just that but look at how he used Parker. He used him as a short route WR having him run crossing routes and bubble screens. In 2017 Parker had 57 catches for 670yds and 1TD. This last season even though Parker only caught 15 more passes this year compared to 2017 he still manged to almost have 2x as many yards with 1,202 and had 9TD. Just due to the fact that Flores knew Parker was a deep to medium route type of a WR an used him as one. Gase wasn't even smart enough to think ohh yea this big 6'3 WR might be a good redzone target which is why he only had 6TD his 3 yrs under Gase yet had 9TD in just one year under Flores.
Sam is what I call a natural who adapts, doesn’t complain. Just goes through walls and obstacles. He’s going to have success with the panthers finally. Just because he won’t be coached by an Adam Gase
Someone should send this to Adam Gase. I have a feeling he hasn't noticed or thought of any of the things brought up here, much less made the correct adjustments to them.
Honestly have no clue how the hell he even got the Jets job much less was able to keep it for a 2nd year. As a Miami fan I know he's a shit coach. Honestly can't think of one thing he does well as a HC. He doesn't use his players correctly just look at Bell last season and how few touches he got. Or a better example is Parker which under Gase Parker was labeled a bust. Yet this last season he had the best year out of any WR in the AFC leading the conf in both TD and YDs. Gase had no clue how to use him as in 2017 Parker had 57 catches for 670yds and 1TD. Yet this last season he only had 15 more catches yet had almost 2x as many yds with 1,202 and had 9TD. Showing that Gase had him running short routes despite Parker being a deep ball WR and that Gase never used him in the redzone seeing how he only had 1TD. So he doesn't know how to use his players. He also doesn't develop his players well either. Look at Tannehill who other then in 2016 he regressed under Gase to the point that no Dolphins fans really besides me wanted him as the QB. As soon as he gets away from Gase Tannehill helps lead his team to the AFC Championship game.
It’s infuriating to watch Gase sabotage Sam’s development. Especially now that we appear to finally have a competent GM. I’m praying Gase can just stay out of his own way this season and Sam can take the next step. Or better yet, fire Gase and promote Williams or Boyer.
@@TheIncredibleOne628 Yea honestly though majority of the thanks has to fall on the jackass of a GM or Owner whoever it was that made the call that figured if Manning endorsed him that means he has to be a great HC. Despite the fact that those Denver teams had a nasty defense and that Manning was the true OC. Not to mention who the fuck cares what Manning says it's not like Gase was still an OC there was tape of him being a HC for 3 years in Miami. So that is all a GM should need to make a judgment on whether or not Gase should be hired. I he failed in Miami so why hire him. Sure I will give Gase some slack for the fact that Tannehill was injured for one full season so Miami was doomed that year regardless. But then the next season they started 3-0 only to go like 3-6 in the next 9 games. Gase also lost the looker room couldn't use players with talent correctly like Parker. Which thank fucking god he never got his wish to trade him as he was pleading with the GM to trade him for a 6th round pick. But are GM was already gonna fire Gase by that point and knew Flores loved Parker and wanted him for the rebuild.

Lean into this competitive advantage (more film, less opinion) and good things are coming to you my man.
Adam Gase adjusted after Le’Veon Bell and Sam Darnold went to him and explained how he could make them better. That tells you all you need to know about Gase as a head coach smh
Facts Sam had to talk to Gase after the Jags game that he wasn’t comfortable with the plays. I remember the news about that. Honestly Adam Gase is a garbage head coach.
10:57 "Sam's footwork needs to improve" Footwork is a byproduct of line protection. When and IF the Jets line up some people who can actually block for him, his footwork will "magically" improve.
That is true but there are many plays where he still throws off his right foot even without pressure. That is a developed bad habit that must be addressed through intensive QB training
Mekhi is a good start but interior needs work and Right Tackle is needed, Liam Eichneberg from Norte Dame is nice and Walker Little from Stanford is good as well
I think most of darnolds issues last year were a combination of our horrendous o-line and his problems coming out of college where he had a Superman complex and try to force the ball where he should probably just go down
I remember subbing and watching your videos about a little over a year ago. its crazy how big your channel has become since then, and i think it’s because of great videos like this one. cheers to you man
This might be a stretch, but hear me out. I see Sam Darnold as a baby Pat Mahomes, who was thrown into the worst situation possible instead of the best. I think Mahomes is a more talented quarterback in a lot of ways, but they both have eerily similar strengths and weaknesses. They're both tremendously physically gifted, are really athletic on their feet, have strong arms, can get out of the pocket and make throws on the run, and have that gunslinger mentality of always trying to make some big plays for their teams. They both can be criticized for having bad footwork under pressure, at times making poor reads, and sometimes that gunslinger trait can bite them in the ass. I draw this comparison to bring up a question. What happens if Pat Mahomes is drafted by the Jets and Sam Darnold is drafted by the Chiefs? Is Mahomes the talented quarterback who is, "seeing ghosts," every time he drops back to throw? Is Darnold the 5000 yard, 50 touchdown, MVP level, super bowl winning quarterback that Mahomes is with Andy Reid and the legion of zoom alongside him? Personally I think the answer is somewhere in the middle, but I'd love to hear some other thoughts about this. I think it's a really interesting topic to think about
When he gets behind a line he trusts, he wil stop expecting to get rocked. Just look what happened when Falk and Trevor were behind center. NOTHING. Tervor got killed.
This is your best video! You really did your research here and had great film to make your points. You are more talented at deconstructing football than most on ESPN, man.
I'd like to see you analyze coaches by division - on their game planning. To me it would be interesting to see good/bad coaching and if they really do put their teams and players in position to win. We always hear "so and so is a great coach" or "so and so is a bad coach", but for an average fan, it's not highlighted why. The section you have on Adam Gase was revealing to me. Much better than the "weird eyes" pictures when I think of him as a bad coach.
Jets fan here: His footwork is atrocious and it doesn’t seem to be getting better looking at his work outs on IG. But damn it he’s our QB so I’m gonna root that he puts it together.
If you watched him at USC, it was the same way. I don’t blame him, though. If you don’t have an O-line through college and pros, you start to become jumpy in his footwork, consistently and is constantly running for his life. Darnold has a long way to come, but the ceiling is high.
Give him a stacked o line and championship team and he can get you a Super Bowl. But he’s not a guy whos gonna win a game by himself like deshaun Watson
I'm a Bears fan, so I haven't seen a ton of Jets games. I'm sending this to every person who claims Trubisky doesn't get protection. Darnold looks like he's playing with no O line in front of him.
Sam's got a fresh start in Carolina and I think he will do well. Absolutely terrible coaching in NY hope if they draft Zach they don't do this to him..thought my Lions were terrible but damn...
I think the WFT should take a chance with him. The Turner offense is well-suited to Darnolds strengths. While our OLine struggled this year due to five starters being out at one point it’s still more stable than the situation in NY.
As a dolphins fan I’m both relieved and worried by this video. Obviously I feel bad for Sam, but it’s nice knowing the jets are wasting potential winning seasons after picking up our ex head coach. Then again, now I know Sam against all of this is still performing and we got a serious threat in the division for years to come
J Thomas No doubt haha it’s ugly but unique. The only reason I asked is because he promised a Phil Rivers breakdown back with the Brady one and hasn’t done it
Hey Zac, it's weird to ask this on a video posted a day ago, but I wanted to ask if you ever plan on doing film on the backups that took over but didn't get significant playing time? People like Matt Moore or Jeff Driskel? Reason I'm really asking this is because I wanted to know what was up with a couple players; David Blough and Luke Falk. Falk performed poorly and was cut, Blough started out well but didn't do that great later on, and is still on the team while Driskel is not. Why was that?
At 3:30 the reason is so bad is you practice how you play. In practice, only some practice in that Jets camp so naturally, the block was also "slow" or late in this instance. The actual crossing route was miss-timed which further points to some guys going 100% and some going 80% in practice making it impossible to sync these plays in-game.
Finally someone who sees what Sam has been working with other than jets fans. Unlike lamar,baker,Allen, Watson and Mahomes, Sam has not had much help.love your content dude.👌
J Foster Jets OL had a 31st pass blocking grade and the 2nd worst run game in the league. Adam Gase was not that much better than Kitchens. Darnold had the worst OL by far. At least the Browns have players like Bitonio and Tretter who are pretty good.
Getting a solid run game will do wonders for darnold, get this guy some play action opportunities and he will hit some game changing plays, hes good improviser and really good on the run, i really want darnold running more tho, his rookie season he was scrambling a lot more and i think that would set up easier downs
The line he said which became a meme. "I'm seeing ghosts!" tells you alot about how last year went for Darnold. He doesn't have time to focus and find exactly where his receivers are and ends up throwing blind into the direction he thinking is open. He is beginning to hesitate more and this is bad sign of his mental condition taking a hit. A player can't grow if they don't have confidence.
A lot of your points seem prescient a year later. I'd be interested in a follow-up video before or after the 2021 season. It'd be interesting to hear what you think now that Sam's in NC.
This is why I believe drafting a QB 1st round when you don't have a good team from a college team that is GREAT is always a mistake. These QBs from great team never learn how to play with a bad offensive line and bad WRs. QBs from great college teams are WAY overrated and over priced.
So deshaun watson is overrated? Peyton manning was overrated from a great tenneseee team? Joe burrow is immediately a bust? I see what you are trying to say but make a generalization to say it's always a mistake is kind of ignorant.
That's why i think Daniel Jones had a relatively successful rookie year. Duke was a disaster... What I don't understand is how he has so much composure even after getting hit billions of times. 😂😂Like the guy isn't jittery at all it seems like he's almost oblivious to it and that led to fumbles. Get ready for him to take a huge step up and dominate
You make no sense the colts were horrible when they picked Andrew Luck first overall and he literally made them a playoff team his rookie year horrible offensive line too
Hey man, you get tons of views on your film analysis videos. I really would love it if you analyzed some Stafford film! I know you mentioned it before but said you would get around to it iirc but it never happened :( Please keep it in mind!
You're great at finding the flaws in established qb's, but how about shinning a light on a little known backup that would be able if given an opportunity. Any chance you can make the case that a Garrett Gilbert, David Fales, Tim Boyle, Tyler Bray, or Ryan Griffin could be a diamond in the ruff?
The good thing about bad footwork is, you can work on that. And the natural being able to throw off a bad foot in a time where you need to can be valuable
when you're expecting to get hit on a 3 step drop, you have a problem. Keep your feet moving because odds are you are going to after scramble. I really believe the new GM, who just took out all the trash on the O line and brought it suitable players will save his career. He just turned 23 and it going into his third season. If you watch all the games you know he as all the skill in the world. Just get the offense some chemistry. He even had better stats in 2019, then 2018. 2019 there were 11 different O line combos. That's insane. How can a QB build trust. They hired the right guy in Joe Douglas who gets it starts with the O line or nothing will work. Becton Lewis Mcgovern Van Roten Fant. Plus the run game will open up and things will start to settle. You are right. Sam is full of resilience and when he starts to trust his line, he will just play ball.
Zac just some feedback, these vids are what keep me around and watching vids. you give great analysis but it’s not the most appealing when i’m just watching you talk to a camera. the film keeps me more engaged with your vids
can you make another one of these because my GOD. this is pinpoint accurate and im curious to see how much worse adam gase made sam after the 2020 season
Very good critique. Interesting thing is no gave this kind of grace and leeway to Luke Falk who also got thrown into hot mess that was the Jets. His first start was against New England, the G.O.A.T. coach, the G.O.A.T. QB, the top rated defense in the league at the time, possibly one of the best in their dynasty, and playing them in Foxborough, historically the most impossible stadium for a visiting team to win in, HIS FIRST START. And he still did better fresh from the practice squad in his New England game than Darnold did in his. To put in Boomer Esiason's words in his CBS Sports HQ review on Oct. 22 2019, "Luke Falk looks like Jonny Unitas compared to that (Sam Dardold's) performance last night (against New England)." In the 10 quarters Falk played he was sacked 19 times. Yet his over all numbers except for touchdowns, like yards per completion, completion percent, are very comparable to Darnold's. Few cut him any slack though. Instead Gace, spotting a Scape goat opportunity, promptly cuts him after only playing 10 quarters. Falk was the better QB, but was completely pulverized and marginalized by simply horrible coaching. In college, just 2 years before, Falk beat both Darnold and Josh Rosen, the two number one QB draft picks of his class less than a year before. And that's playing for the comparetively small market Washington State. In fact Falk finished his college career the #8 NCAA BCS Quarterback of all time. The guy was a legend, but was under drafted. Someone please find this guy (Falk) and and develope him. Anybody but the Jets please, while Gace is there.

That dude wasn't open in the back back of the endzone during that Pat's game
This is terrifying, Sam Darnold has some legit talent, but imagine him on an actual team? He would be great
Hope so! 👍🏼
This is your best video! You really did your research here and had great film to make your points. You are more talented at deconstructing football than most on ESPN, man.
I'd like to see you analyze coaches by division - on their game planning. To me it would be interesting to see good/bad coaching and if they really do put their teams and players in position to win. We always hear "so and so is a great coach" or "so and so is a bad coach", but for an average fan, it's not highlighted why. The section you have on Adam Gase was revealing to me. Much better than the "weird eyes" pictures when I think of him as a bad coach.
This is such a great review. I'm so happy the Jets got like 40 offensive linemen in this offseason, even more now.
I really like this video. We need more people who take there time breaking down plays.
Jets fan here: His footwork is atrocious and it doesn’t seem to be getting better looking at his work outs on IG. But damn it he’s our QB so I’m gonna root that he puts it together.
Jets QBs have never been above avarage
EstParum Broadway Joe?
Footwork flys out the window when you running for your life
If you watched him at USC, it was the same way. I don’t blame him, though. If you don’t have an O-line through college and pros, you start to become jumpy in his footwork, consistently and is constantly running for his life. Darnold has a long way to come, but the ceiling is high.
Give him a stacked o line and championship team and he can get you a Super Bowl. But he’s not a guy whos gonna win a game by himself like deshaun Watson
I'm a Bears fan, so I haven't seen a ton of Jets games. I'm sending this to every person who claims Trubisky doesn't get protection. Darnold looks like he's playing with no O line in front of him.
Sam's got a fresh start in Carolina and I think he will do well. Absolutely terrible coaching in NY hope if they draft Zach they don't do this to him..thought my Lions were terrible but damn...
Zach was just as BAD! Boy the Jets sure can pick them. We need the best not the worst. Jets need better scouts.
I think the WFT should take a chance with him. The Turner offense is well-suited to Darnolds strengths. While our OLine struggled this year due to five starters being out at one point it’s still more stable than the situation in NY.
Love the videos. Are you ever gonna do a Josh Allen film analysis?
An updated analysis in the offseason would be awesome pending the decision to keep or trade darnold
nice analysis! could you fix the top left corner blackout -- it feels off lol
Are you still doing that Stafford review you planned to do after the season?
This was amazing! Please do a video on Aaron Rodgers and tell us where you rank him in today’s qbs.
It's really bad when you are being chased before you get to a three step drop.
Someone let him know that he has those hacker comments of “wanna be friends” in some of his vids. Also don’t reply to those.
????
@Elias Onzalez I don’t know the specifics there’s vids about it if you’re really curious
@Elias Onzalez Basically stealing the account.
Imagine how desperate for friends the poor bastards who clicked on the link were....
As a dolphins fan I’m both relieved and worried by this video. Obviously I feel bad for Sam, but it’s nice knowing the jets are wasting potential winning seasons after picking up our ex head coach. Then again, now I know Sam against all of this is still performing and we got a serious threat in the division for years to come
I still believe in Sam 🙏 mims is a great selection for them, hopefully he becomes a #1 option
When is the Phil Rivers breakdown coming? 😫
J Thomas one of the most accurate passers in NFL history though, and a gunslinger 🤷🏻♂️
J Thomas No doubt haha it’s ugly but unique. The only reason I asked is because he promised a Phil Rivers breakdown back with the Brady one and hasn’t done it
Hey Zac, it's weird to ask this on a video posted a day ago, but I wanted to ask if you ever plan on doing film on the backups that took over but didn't get significant playing time? People like Matt Moore or Jeff Driskel? Reason I'm really asking this is because I wanted to know what was up with a couple players; David Blough and Luke Falk. Falk performed poorly and was cut, Blough started out well but didn't do that great later on, and is still on the team while Driskel is not. Why was that?
Great video, great analysis!!
i love your channel! josh allen film analysis please?!
The key to any team is the offensive line... OL gives the QB time to throw and also keeps the opposing defense on the field while your defense rests..
Fantastic analysis, I really enjoyed your take.
Funny, that when I ask my friend (huge Jets fan) whats wrong with the Jets. Every point you made he said the exact same thing.
Waiting for the next episode patiently 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great analysis bro!!
As a Browns fan your description of Gase made me think of Freddie Kitchens.
But remember everything is the quarterback's fault
But remember everything that goes right for the team is because of the quarterback
Love the QB analysis definately your wheel house
At 3:30 the reason is so bad is you practice how you play. In practice, only some practice in that Jets camp so naturally, the block was also "slow" or late in this instance. The actual crossing route was miss-timed which further points to some guys going 100% and some going 80% in practice making it impossible to sync these plays in-game.
Completely agreed with this analysis. Excellent job as always, sir!
A very thoughtful analysis made simple with facts and concise examples. Good shit bro
Great to see your getting sponsors to pay of your hard work!
Finally someone who sees what Sam has been working with other than jets fans. Unlike lamar,baker,Allen, Watson and Mahomes, Sam has not had much help.love your content dude.👌
J Foster Jets OL had a 31st pass blocking grade and the 2nd worst run game in the league. Adam Gase was not that much better than Kitchens. Darnold had the worst OL by far. At least the Browns have players like Bitonio and Tretter who are pretty good.
J Foster look at his receivers
There's only a select few qbs who can succeed somewhat like darnold did this year..Mahomes, Russell, Rodgers and Watson.
Some team needs to hire you bro ... real talk ... you got tremendous talent
Getting a solid run game will do wonders for darnold, get this guy some play action opportunities and he will hit some game changing plays, hes good improviser and really good on the run, i really want darnold running more tho, his rookie season he was scrambling a lot more and i think that would set up easier downs
Getting endorsements and I’m happy for ya!
I'm not even a Jets fan and I feel bad for Arnold watching this. Great analysis and break down. Your eye for the game will get you far.
The line he said which became a meme. "I'm seeing ghosts!" tells you alot about how last year went for Darnold. He doesn't have time to focus and find exactly where his receivers are and ends up throwing blind into the direction he thinking is open. He is beginning to hesitate more and this is bad sign of his mental condition taking a hit. A player can't grow if they don't have confidence.
A lot of your points seem prescient a year later. I'd be interested in a follow-up video before or after the 2021 season. It'd be interesting to hear what you think now that Sam's in NC.
This is why I believe drafting a QB 1st round when you don't have a good team from a college team that is GREAT is always a mistake. These QBs from great team never learn how to play with a bad offensive line and bad WRs. QBs from great college teams are WAY overrated and over priced.
So deshaun watson is overrated? Peyton manning was overrated from a great tenneseee team? Joe burrow is immediately a bust? I see what you are trying to say but make a generalization to say it's always a mistake is kind of ignorant.
Mohit Garg we haven’t even seen burrow play in the nfl no one knows if he’ll be good or not
That's why i think Daniel Jones had a relatively successful rookie year. Duke was a disaster... What I don't understand is how he has so much composure even after getting hit billions of times. 😂😂Like the guy isn't jittery at all it seems like he's almost oblivious to it and that led to fumbles. Get ready for him to take a huge step up and dominate
@@johnnorman6981 He is going to be a real problem for the rest of the league.
You make no sense the colts were horrible when they picked Andrew Luck first overall and he literally made them a playoff team his rookie year horrible offensive line too
Usually plays that are drawn on the white board that are “designed to work “ don’t work entirely in game
As a Carolina fan I cannot wait to see him take the field for the Panthers.
Hey man, you get tons of views on your film analysis videos. I really would love it if you analyzed some Stafford film! I know you mentioned it before but said you would get around to it iirc but it never happened :(
Please keep it in mind!
You're great at finding the flaws in established qb's, but how about shinning a light on a little known backup that would be able if given an opportunity.
Any chance you can make the case that a Garrett Gilbert, David Fales, Tim Boyle, Tyler Bray, or Ryan Griffin could be a diamond in the ruff?
How do you get a hold of NFL film to conduct an analysis in the first place?
Doesn't help Darnold's cause that he has to play the Patriots and Bills defenses for 4 games each season
except last year only faced them each once...
He's isn't healthy enough to play them...
I hope we see some improvement all around this season.
When Sam darnold said he was seeing ghosts, he must have meant his crappy teammates, who didn't really exist
Do a video breaking down Daniel Jones' fumbles and talk about whether or not they are fixable
Great Analysis! Thanks!
You need to do a film analysis on Dalton, because his game completely crashed and burned in 2019.
I wonder if he can do in depth film analysis on other positions like rb or wr. That would be interesting
Would love a review like this of Allen
Hurray film analyses are back! Hope you do do my man Carson Wentz
Thank you Joe Douglas for actually addressing the o-line this offseason.
The good thing about bad footwork is, you can work on that. And the natural being able to throw off a bad foot in a time where you need to can be valuable
I'm surprised you did this whole segment, including a long bit about that Patriots game, without mentioning the famous "I'm seeing ghosts" comment
when you're expecting to get hit on a 3 step drop, you have a problem. Keep your feet moving because odds are you are going to after scramble. I really believe the new GM, who just took out all the trash on the O line and brought it suitable players will save his career. He just turned 23 and it going into his third season. If you watch all the games you know he as all the skill in the world. Just get the offense some chemistry. He even had better stats in 2019, then 2018. 2019 there were 11 different O line combos. That's insane. How can a QB build trust. They hired the right guy in Joe Douglas who gets it starts with the O line or nothing will work. Becton Lewis Mcgovern Van Roten Fant. Plus the run game will open up and things will start to settle. You are right. Sam is full of resilience and when he starts to trust his line, he will just play ball.
Zac just some feedback, these vids are what keep me around and watching vids. you give great analysis but it’s not the most appealing when i’m just watching you talk to a camera. the film keeps me more engaged with your vids
can you make another one of these because my GOD. this is pinpoint accurate and im curious to see how much worse adam gase made sam after the 2020 season
Manscape is the Fleece Johnson of UA-cam
Where’d you get this game film?
Very good critique. Interesting thing is no gave this kind of grace and leeway to Luke Falk who also got thrown into hot mess that was the Jets. His first start was against New England, the G.O.A.T. coach, the G.O.A.T. QB, the top rated defense in the league at the time, possibly one of the best in their dynasty, and playing them in Foxborough, historically the most impossible stadium for a visiting team to win in, HIS FIRST START. And he still did better fresh from the practice squad in his New England game than Darnold did in his. To put in Boomer Esiason's words in his CBS Sports HQ review on Oct. 22 2019, "Luke Falk looks like Jonny Unitas compared to that (Sam Dardold's) performance last night (against New England)." In the 10 quarters Falk played he was sacked 19 times. Yet his over all numbers except for touchdowns, like yards per completion, completion percent, are very comparable to Darnold's. Few cut him any slack though. Instead Gace, spotting a Scape goat opportunity, promptly cuts him after only playing 10 quarters. Falk was the better QB, but was completely pulverized and marginalized by simply horrible coaching. In college, just 2 years before, Falk beat both Darnold and Josh Rosen, the two number one QB draft picks of his class less than a year before. And that's playing for the comparetively small market Washington State. In fact Falk finished his college career the #8 NCAA BCS Quarterback of all time. The guy was a legend, but was under drafted. Someone please find this guy (Falk) and and develope him. Anybody but the Jets please, while Gace is there.
Seems like Sam Darnold choose to play Madden on hardest difficult.
I would love to see you do an analysis on Derek Carr
As a Panthers fan, This video makes me slightly more optimistic.
I know you’re a QB guy but I’d love to see a vid on how you think Jonathan Taylor is gonna do
I'd like to see a film analysis on Jamis Winston and if you think he can succeed in New Orleans.
Lev Bell is a great receiving rb he should be used as a dump off option often
